A 13-pound baby boy, Shawn Jr., was born at Cayuga Medical Center, setting a hospital record.
A 13-pound baby boy, Shawn Jr., was born at Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca, New York, on January 31, becoming the heaviest infant ever delivered at the hospital.
His parents, Terrica and Shawn, had expected a large baby but were surprised by his size, noting he already needed clothes for 3- to 6-month-olds.
The birth occurred alongside the arrival of a 4-pound baby girl, Margot, prompting widespread attention after the hospital shared a photo highlighting the size difference.
Medical staff emphasized their readiness for diverse births and the importance of individualized care.
While Shawn Jr’s weight set a local record, he is not the heaviest baby ever born— that record belongs to a 22-pound infant born in 1955.
Both babies are reported to be healthy.
